BUCK'S BILLIONAIRE looks the safest option in this as he's looked as though he needed much softer ground in both starts to date and should have conditions to his liking. Gordon Elliott saddles two with Jamie Codd on board Ask Neilus, another who hasn't been enjoying quick ground, and Lisa O'Neill's mount Ballydunblaze, who has a chaser's pedigree. Deburrafield did much better when sent over hurdles at Bellewstown while Derek O'Connor's presence on He's Ok catches the eye.
